I just went through all their ships and deployment and nothing seems to have a potential to replace Radiance. Though Serenade seems to have a hole in it’s bookings. We had a grand suite for the transpacific. None left on Ovation. There are some JS and they are so much more expensive than what we got the GS for. Also interesting to see that the Quantum transpacific also got taken down yesterday and is still missing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They became mostly casino comps. There has to be another puzzle piece about to be dropped on the game board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HicksRA Posted March 20, 2022 #30 Share Posted March 20, 2022 If they move Radiance to NOLA, they’ll just call it a repositioning, cancel previous bookings and offer no compensation. Been there, got the Tshirt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't get the same standard of room on Ovation. Looks like we might have to a land based holiday in Hawaii because flights and accommodation are already booked.

NOTHING ABSOULUTELY NOTHING was offered to us when they canceled 4 February 2022 cruises on Serenade a few weeks before we were scheduled to sail. Oh, they said we'll give you 125% FCC that you can't use for Symphony with the same dates. RCI just flipped us off, and said BTW the GS you booked on Serenade is 50% more expensive on Symphony and you can't keep the same cabin for all four cruises. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is Navigator going with bookings? I had a bit of a look at some of the ships and the likely ships to replace Radiance maybe Serenade or Navgator.

That's horrible treatment when it's all out of our control. I'm going to take the money and book another cruise line. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t really blame them from the way our government has treated them. For the last 2 years our government has just given them the cold shoulder. No information,no feedback and their ships have been just floating around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are saying they will price protect as long as you are within the same category and there is only a 1 night difference. For the transpacifics they were all different, Radiance was 16 nights, Quantum is 18 and Ovation is 19 so they will get out of price protection.

Chilliburn was referring to the Australian Government who has treated the cruise industry with contempt since March 2020. Princess Cruises also pulled Royal Princess last week out of the Australian 22/23 season. The local TAs can't take a trick. A cruise restart is announced and two companies cancel ships. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
